You can go to a hardware store and buy some stock aluminum tubing and cut any size spacer you need....Coug  |

My guess would be that you have the hardware used to mount up to the OEM sissybar side arms. The holes in the sidearms are a larger diameter than those in the stock brows.
Try looking for Polyethylene spacers in the hardware department at Home Depot. I just bought some to use on the mounting hardware for my windshield lowers. They had several different sizes.

OK, that makes sense. I didn't realize, or even think about the fact that the Silverado would have different eyebrows.
Thanks to everyone for their help. Hopefully I'll get these things straightened out by the weekend.

I have the same quick release bag set-up. All I had to do was bring my original eyebrow bolts to ACE Hardware. They sell Chrome bolts in metric sizes. I found some the right lenght to use with the eyebrow, and a different lenght to use when I install my passenger seat and backrest.

OK, one more quick question:
The stock bolts had what appears to be Red lock-tight on them. I'm getting new bolts and thinking of using the Blue lock-tight. Am I going to have any issues with the residual Red lock-tight in the threads of the nut that sits inside the fender?
